Abstract:Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the malignant tumors with the highest morbidity and mortality in our country, which poses a serious burden to society. Liver ultrasound and tumor marker alphafetoprotein (AFP) are the most widely used tests in the world. However, ultrasound and AFP have limited accuracy in the detection of early liver cancer. At present, many studies are looking for reliable biomarkers for the diagnosis of early liver cancer. Such biomarkers will help in the diagnosis of early liver cancer and ensure early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. This review summarizes the role of protein markers, gene markers (non-coding RNA and DNA methylation) as biomarkers in the identification of early liver cancer, and discuss their potential significance as biomarkers in the diagnosis of early liver cancer.
